  1. When you get to New York, I do hope you will look us up!!!

    Nator, when I read about you, all I think is that I wish Texas and New Jersey were not so far apart!!!! You and Allie would be best friend. You love the same books! Allie loves sewing and knitting and crocheting and reading, too!!! Oh and Apples to Apples, Jr.--that is always Allie's choice for game night! I just wish my Allie girl were better at emailing!!

  4. Oh, your sweet Nator reminds me so much of myself when I was young -- I had the same interests :) Can I just say how much I love that her favorite place is home?! What a good job you and her papa must be doing that she feels that way!

    (P.S. Thanks so much for sticking around on my blog through my hiatus and silences... What a friend you've been! It always cheers my heart to see your comments in my inbox :)

  11. Happy Birthday late to your sweet girl. I LOVE her interview. It tells me so much about your lovely girl. She is so happily planted isn't she? What a wonderful thing to have given her.

    Great pictures all. I love that cake! You know, 'The Sound of Music" sounds like such a great play to do. I am going to suggest that after we get finished with Princess and the Pea!
